Success

Found it!

You lure it down […]

"I was saying […] you could persuade the other six players […] to start early […]"

[…] "And I don't know what they look like. I'm blind […] Apart from the monkey, obviously."

The monkey? He nods. "Highly trained card player, I understand."

Description summary:
You lure back the monkey. The astronomer explains that you wouldn't have to wait 5 years if you can convince all players to start early, as they are all impatient between games. However, he doesn't know where the players are or how they look like, except the monkey, who is one of them.
